Members John Rimbaud Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hello, I play in a metal band with 2 singers, 2 guitars, 1 bass, 1 drummer + backing track (we play on click). We've been rehearsing for some time in a ridiculously tiny garage and altrough we don't play that loud, it's pretty much impossible to hear anything in there. We're thinking about playing with headphones. The thing is, can't all spend that much on them. Some of us are still students, other have been out of job for years. The drummer already has a fine pair. What would be the minimal price for decent headphones that would make able to work until every one can afford better stuff ? I've seen the Shure SE215-CL but couldn't really find any review of them. And what would be a good choice for someone who can spend a reasonable amount of money on them ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tlbonehead Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 why not just use a headphone amp and 'phones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mogwix Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Audio-Technica ATH-M50s are my go-to 'phones for everything.Sennheiser HD280 are also great. Both are under $200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Axisplayer Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Audio-Technica ATH-M50s are my go-to 'phones for everything. Me too. Replaced my SONY 7506 and never looked back..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the headphone-only rehearsal thing for a bit. I used the AT M50s, they worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Rimbaud Posted September 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 I do own a pair of m50 for home studio and they are great but it definitly wouldn't be usuable for rehearsing, especially considering the small room size.

In-ear buds aren't much better unless you spend a lot of money on custom molded ones. I'd suggest you try the m50s at your rehearsal and see how they work; you'll find that you don't need a ton of isolation, because I was in exactly the same boat. That is, of course, unless you're hell-bent on spending money that you don't need to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
